Nerves starting to jangle a bit now, as they always do prior to this fixture. Ive gone for a 1;3 win to the red men but am aware anything and everything can happen in these games. They'll probably give 15 - 20 per cent more than usual in this game, which just goes to show how they're cheating their scabby fans for the rest of the season.
I think we're better set up than them with a more fluent game, but we still do start a bit slow. If we could put our second half performances out there for 90 mins, they won't live with us.
I'm expecting them to park the bus and break at pace occasionally, as Ten Haag knows if they play an open game they'll get battered. We just have to. break through that and put away our chances, all the time watching out for the quick counter. We have to be patient and not make individual mistakes. If they press us high, don't over do it, and put the laces through the ball when it's necessary rather than lose possession in an around our box.
We need to settle quick, get into our rhythm early, get a quick goal and shut their half hearted support up.
COME ON YOU MIGHTY RED MEN.
